Let's not forget our history: the EPA was created by a republican
congress under a republican President, and was an outgrowth of
the "convservation" movement that was decidedly conservative (in
the dictionary sense of the word). What happened is that later
administrations seized its power and used it to regulate big
business to death, and spun the rhetoric that industry and
technology were anti-environment, and the public bought it.
Conservatives are against what it became, not what it was.
